[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an American who lived in both Asia and Europe during my formative years. Other posters nailed it. I am very adaptable to change, I love meeting people with different backgrounds, and I can make friends anywhere. I find that I gravitate to people who have lived overseas or who have had experiences like mine. I would say that the cons are not growing up in one place and having lifelong friends. My children are also third future kids. They are American and we spent most of their formative years living in Europe where they attended an International school. We pursued the opportunity to live overseas because I loved my childhood and wanted my kids to have the same chance to grow up in another country, to befriend kids with different cultures, to learn another language, I.e. One of my kids (who made his best friends overseas) is not interested in studying abroad or moving back overseas at this point in his life. My other child, can’t wait to move back to Europe in college or upon working after school. In my case, I never felt a disconnect to “home” and my kids have said that they didn’t feel one either. Home was always where the family was! [/quote]

How were you able to live abroad?
